What is sourcing and sinking in a circuit?

Описание: When creating a real-life circuit, particularly with a microcontroller or PLC, it is important to decide whether your device should be sourcing or sinking in your circuit. While, from an ideal perspective, the end result is the same, in actuality, there are significant performance differences between the two. The concept of what sourcing and sinking in a circuit is will be reviewed in this video, along with a few overall suggestions of when one may be appropriate over the other.
